Being around people that are passionate about the same things that you are, will fuel your passion. Nothing great is ever accomplished and sustained without passion. Emotions might offer a starting point but they will not produce sustainable results. Where emotion is a strong feeling, passion is an intense desire.
Therefore same passion = more passion. Being around passionate people will generate more passion.
Emotion vs. Passion
Emotion says: “I will!” but then doesn’t (or if it does it can’t sustain it when emotions fade).
Passion says: “I will!” and it does more than what’s required.
Emotion gives some when convenient.
Passion gives it all consistently.
Emotion serves until it becomes uncomfortable.
Passion serves despite of discomfort.
Emotion has a strong sense of obligation.
Passion has a strong sense of purpose.
Emotion will lie to you.
Passion will always be true.

Passion counts the cost and chooses to pay the price.
What are you passionate about? If people cannot tell you what your passion is you haven't got one. Why not start by being passionate about God's house (The Church)? If Jesus was passionate enough to build it and die for it, it must be something that we should also be passionate about and set it as the top of our priorities.
